Check Control
Data for Repetitive Manufacturing Profiles
This step is only relevant in repetitive
manufacturing environments.
In this step, you make the relevant settings
for Cost Object Controlling in the Control Data 1
tab.
- You specify whether a backflush is entered
when the goods are received in inventory. This means that the goods receipt
that credits the product cost collector and the goods issue that debits the
product cost collector take place simultaneously. Accordingly, the goods issue
is posted automatically. You can manually correct the issued quantity
suggested by the system when you withdraw more or less than originally
planned.
- You specify whether reporting point
confirmations are entered. Reporting point confirmations are a prerequisite
for WIP and scrap variance calculations. Reporting point confirmations are not
possible in make-to-order repetitive manufacturing. You can use optional
reporting points if you want to calculate work in process without making
confirmations for each reporting point in Logistics.
- You specify whether the system automatically
posts the goods receipt when backflushing at the last reporting point.
Thereby, at the last reporting point, the quantity produced is automatically
delivered to inventory and the product cost collector is credited
accordingly.
- Control of the Confirmation
Procedure
If, for example, you
would like to improve performance by not posting data to Cost Object
Controlling when goods receipt postings and reporting point confirmations are
entered, you can separate the logistical and cost accounting update through
process control.
- You specify whether the system automatically
allocates internal activites when you confirm reporting points or receive
goods. You also specify which cost estimate the system uses as a basis when
suggesting the consumed activity quantities. You can choose between the
standard cost estimate for a material and the preliminary costing for the
product cost collector. You can change the activity quantities manually if you
use more or less activities than originally planned.
See the documentation under
Repetitive Manufacturing for information on the other control
data that has no influence on Cost Object Controlling.
